  • Yep, don't know how this comment ended up here. It was about Japanese tech regulations in an English community.

    Entschuldigen Sie bitte meine Fehler.

  • If the EU and Japan can align their legislation, that brings a lot of critical mass to the free world. Which can avoid Big Tech dominance over our technology.

    If the UK, Canada and Australia also join, then perfect.

    And fuck it, let China join in too.

  • Indeed, but the way the math for expansion works is that there is something called a Hubble horizon and that makes it impossible to ever reach the edge, since it is moving away from us faster than light. (The limit doesn't apply to the expansion of space-time).

    Quite a nifty solution by the Supreme Programmer to avoid us hitting the limits of the simulation. I couldn't have designed it better.

    Then he can proceed with his final solution.

  • You also need the Senate, not just the president.

    But Republican senators have abdicated their duties and voters have not replaced them.

    That's why we have this mess.

  • If that email needs to go to a client or stakeholder, then our culture won't accept just the prompt.

    Where it really shines is translation, transcription and coding.

    Programmers can easily double their productivity and increase the quality of their code, tests and documentation while reducing bugs.

    Translation is basically perfect. Human translators aren't needed. At most they can review, but it's basically errorless, so they won't really change the outcome.

    Transcribing meetings also works very well. No typos or grammar errors, only sometimes issues with acronyms and technical terms, but those are easy to spot and correct.

  • Tesla insurance premiums are incresing at twice the market rate amid vandalism

    Jump

  • I am not convinced it would, TBH.

    If people don't want to buy the cars, then the production line will eventually have to stop, permanently. And you get zero compensation for lost revenue.

    If a production line is hit and has to close, then insurance will compensate part of the damage and after a few days or weeks you can be up and running again.

  • It is definitely here to stay, but the hype of AGI being just around the corner is definitely not believable. And a lot of the billions being invested in AI will never return a profit.

    AI is already a commodity. People will be paying $10/month at max for general AI. Whether Gemini, Apple Intelligence, Llama, ChatGPT, copilot or Deepseek. People will just have one cheap plan that covers anything an ordinary person would need. Most people might even limit themselves to free plans supported by advertisements.

    These companies aren't going to be able to extract revenues in the $20-$100/month from the general population, which is what they need to recoup their investments.

    Specialized implementations for law firms, medical field, etc will be able to charge more per seat, but their user base will be small. And even they will face stiff competition.

    I do believe AI can mostly solve quite a few of the problems of an aging society, by making the smaller pool of workers significantly more productive. But it will not be able to fully replace humans any time soon.

    It's kinda like email or the web. You can make money using these technologies, but by itself it's not a big money maker.

  • Europe's race to rearm is pointless if its adversaries are waging war online

    Jump

  • Agreed. Algorithms, bots and fake news work together to create and perpetuate harmful narratives.

    I think the DMA has the right idea and it should be extended. Any platform with a large user base should be heavily regulated and controlled.

    We can still have mostly unregulated and uncensored free speech on small platforms, since those aren't harmful for our democracy.

  • Unions as a 21st Century Anti-Fascist Force

    Jump

  • I'm talking about long-term non-US centric policy.

    I don't mean to imply that this is a priority for the short term in the US.

  • Tesla insurance premiums are incresing at twice the market rate amid vandalism

    Jump

  • A commenter on the site made the same comment, but I find it difficult to believe that insurance companies won't adapt more quickly to marked increases in vandalism.

    If they don't immediately raise rates, then they will make less profit.

    If their competitors do raise rates, then the Tesla owners will flock to the ones that didn't raise rates and those companies will end up with reduced profits due to having more Tesla's and thus more claims to cover.

  • If vandalism continues, then this will easily be the death of Tesla.

    Nobody will want to buy a Tesla when an equivalent Mercedes has half the insurance rate.

    Boycotts also hurt Tesla, but vandalism will be their death.

  • Unions as a 21st Century Anti-Fascist Force

  • Nothing in this world is free. The US tax rate isn't high. The issue is, you don't get a good value back.

    You can't have strong unions without money for unions.

    Organizing people costs money.

    Union dues tend to be in the $10-50 per month range, while unions easily increase wages by hundreds a month through collective bargaining.

    Most of the unions costs are fixed, so if everyone is a member the average due can easily be on the lower end ($10-20).

    If you have a problem with that, then that's exactly why you don't have strong unions.

  • 'Homegrowns are next': Trump doubles down on sending American 'criminals' to foreign prisons

    Jump

  • Yep, Project 2025 wasn't exaggerated at all. We all knew this would happen.

    But I'm gonna blame Biden, Harris and AIPAC for blowing up the liberal-progressive coalition and alienating working class Americans with high inflation.

    How do you lose 6 million voters from 2020 to 2024. That's just insane.

    Half of them went to Trump, the other half stayed home.

    Madness

  • Unions as a 21st Century Anti-Fascist Force

  • I fully agree.

    Also, one thing that Unions always have trouble with is that there is no individual benefit to joining a union, only a cost, so you get a prisoners dilemma type situation.

    Even in Scandinavian countries, union membership is on the decline.

    Personally, I think the solution should be that union dues are paid by a small tax, making it 'free' to join a union. And the unions can provide free benefits to their members, such as legal advice and representation. This will make it attractive to join a union.

  • People forget that all the people the Nazi's put in camps were also criminals. According to Nazi propaganda, they were responsible for the deaths of millions of Germans in WW1, for impoverishing hardworking Germans in the Great Depression and for terrorism in resistance to the Nazi regime.

    No regime ever has admitted to locking up an innocent person. No dictator has ever said "Yeah, I put innocent people in jail".

    This is why we have separation of powers. The executive branch has zero authority to call anyone a criminal. Only the independent court system has that authority.

    It's sad that it needs to be policy for the USA, but here we are.

    It's nearly impossible in rich areas for young people to afford a family sized house and daycare.

    We need to solve those problems if we want young people to have families.
